Resumen

PROPÓSITO DE LA REVISIÓN: Revisar la construcción de programas para eliminar las infecciones por Toxoplasma.

HALLAZGOS RECIENTES: La morbilidad y mortalidad por toxoplasmosis dio lugar a programas en EE.UU., Panamá y Colombia para facilitar la comprensión, el tratamiento, la prevención y los recursos regionales, incorporando el trabajo de los estudiantes.

RESUMEN: Se revisan los estudios fundamentales para la creación de enfoques/programas regionales recientes. La introducción ofrece una visión general/revisión de programas en Panamá, Estados Unidos y otros países. La alta prevalencia/riesgo de exposición condujo a la promulgación de leyes que exigen la realización de pruebas en la gestación, la presentación de informes y el desarrollo de materiales didácticos de amplia base sobre Toxoplasma. Se comprobó su eficacia como herramientas de aprendizaje para estudiantes de secundaria, mujeres embarazadas, estudiantes de medicina, médicos, científicos, funcionarios de salud pública y público en general. La aplicación digitalizada y gratuita para teléfonos inteligentes enseñó eficazmente a las mujeres embarazadas sobre la prevención de la toxoplasmosis. Los programas de atención a la infección perinatal, la identificación de los verdaderos factores de riesgo regionales y el cribado gestacional en el punto de atención facilitan la prevención y la atención. Cuando se aplican plenamente en todos los grupos demográficos, estos programas ofrecen oportunidades para salvar vidas, la vista y la cognición, con considerables beneficios indirectos para las personas y las sociedades.

N2 - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Review building of programs to eliminate Toxoplasma infections. RECENT FINDINGS: Morbidity and mortality from toxoplasmosis led to programs in USA, Panama, and Colombia to facilitate understanding, treatment, prevention, and regional resources, incorporating student work.SUMMARY: Studies foundational for building recent, regional approaches/programs are reviewed. Introduction provides an overview/review of programs in Panamá, the United States, and other countries. High prevalence/risk of exposure led to laws mandating testing in gestation, reporting, and development of broad-based teaching materials about Toxoplasma. These were tested for efficacy as learning tools for high-school students, pregnant women, medical students, physicians, scientists, public health officials and general public. Digitized, free, smart phone application effectively taught pregnant women about toxoplasmosis prevention. Perinatal infection care programs, identifying true regional risk factors, and point-of-care gestational screening facilitate prevention and care.
